What Is House Levelling, and Why It Matters in Woolloomooloo


House levelling is the process of correcting and stabilising a building that has sunk, shifted, or become uneven. This usually involves lifting the home and reinforcing its footings to ensure long-term support.


In Woolloomooloo, foundation movement is often caused by:


  • Ageing timber stumps and crumbling brick piers
  • Coastal moisture seeping into subfloors
  • Fill soils used in historic land reclamation
  • Vibrations from nearby road or construction works
  • Inadequate drainage under terraces and shared buildings


We use engineered techniques tailored for inner-city conditions, protecting your structure without compromising its heritage value.

Signs Your Woolloomooloo Property May Need Levelling

Foundation movement doesn’t always start with a bang. These small but telling signs usually come first:

  • Cracks along walls, ceilings, or external brickwork
  • Doors and windows that jam or stick
  • Sloped or “springy” timber floors
  • Gaps between walls and skirting boards
  • Popping tiles or cracked grout
  • Noticeable lean or sag in structural framing

Woolloomooloo’s unique soil conditions and ageing homes make these problems common—but completely treatable with the right approach.

House Relevelling Specialists


Old or damaged timber stumps can shift over time, causing floors to dip and frames to twist. We remove failing stumps and install strong, modern replacements—ensuring your home is safely supported and structurally sound for decades to come.

Re-Stumping


When foundations are no longer strong enough to support your home, underpinning adds the reinforcement needed to stabilise and secure your property. We use engineered solutions to extend your footing into stable soil and stop further movement.

Underpinning


For lighter structures or concrete slabs, resin injection is a fast, non-invasive way to stabilise sunken ground. This method lifts and strengthens foundations by injecting an expanding resin that fills gaps under the home—ideal for driveways, patios, and parts of the house affected by soft or shifting soil.

Foundation Repair Services


We inspect, repair, and upgrade the beams, bearers, and joists under your home to make sure everything’s structurally sound. If you’ve noticed bouncy or noisy floors, it might be time to look beneath the surface.


Sub-Floor Works


Ventilation

Moisture trapped under your home can lead to mould, timber decay, and structural problems. We install smart sub-floor ventilation systems that keep air moving and dampness out—helping protect your investment.
